Hi guys,

I'm trying to configure my RTL Usb key on my RPI

If i start rtl_433 with SSH, that works, I see my device transmission

But in Domoticz, there is always this erros on logs : 

Rtl433: rtl_433 startup failed. Make sure it's properly installed (rtl_433 -F csv -q -I 2 2>/dev/null). https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433

If I test this command in SSH : 

root@raspberrypi:~# rtl_433 -F csv -q -I 2
rtl_433 version unknown inputs file rtl_tcp RTL-SDR
Trying conf file at "rtl_433.conf"...
Trying conf file at "/root/.config/rtl_433/rtl_433.conf"...
Trying conf file at "/usr/local/etc/rtl_433/rtl_433.conf"...
Trying conf file at "/etc/rtl_433/rtl_433.conf"...
quiet option (-q) is default and deprecated. See -v to increase verbosity
include_only (-I) is deprecated. Use -S none|all|unknown|known


I tried to reinstall rtl-sdr, but always the same problem ...
I don't understand, because that works with the simple command "rtl_433" with SSH session ....

Thanks for your help !

Jeremie

Hi, you have to ask Domoticz for help. This error is not an rtl_433 error.

Thanks for your very quick answer

Are you sur this is a Domoticz problem ?
Because if I test this SSH command : 

rtl_433 -F csv -q -I 2 

I got this error :

rtl_433 version unknown inputs file rtl_tcp RTL-SDR

Okay ...

I just tried to understand ... the failed command is rtl_433 no ? Not domoticz ?

The command simply does not fail. What fails is Domoticz parsing of the
rtl_433 output because it uses the command line interface that has been
changed.

Thanks for this information, I understand now :)

I'm going to get information from domoticz forums

Have a nice day

Um, no, it seems to be a problem with his setup for rtl_433 on a RasPi. Look at
the direct command he issued:
root@raspberrypi:~# rtl_433 -F csv -q -I 2

Jeremie
You might try running without the -q option. It might give you more information.
One thing to do is copy "rtl_test" into the same directory as rtl_433. And run
it. If it finds the dongle and reads it I'd look at the config file, if present,
and see if anything suggests what the problem might be. Push come to shove post
the config file(s) you find with notes for each file which one it is in the
search order.

Hi,

Without "-q", no more information :(

root@raspberrypi:~# rtl_433 -F csv -I 2

include_only (-I) is deprecated. Use -S none|all|unknown|known

The rtl_test command give this result, and no more :

Do I need a rtl_433.conf file ?

Remove the "-I 2". Tell the Domoticz maintainers not to use that. It was an error to include that flag in the Domoticz call, it was just a debug flag. And we don't allow it any more.

You have to direct your questions about Domoticz to the Domoticz project.

I finally found a workaround with this :



Now, the RTL433 works in domotics
But my device is not recognized :

2019-02-14 12:02:28.278 Status: Rtl433: Unhandled sensor reading, please report: (2019-02-14 12:02:27,,,CM160,,11,,,,,,,,,OS,,,,,,,,2995,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

My device is a OWL CM160 Energy meter

How to do, to get this device recognized by RTL433 ?

Thanks
Jeremie

Hi, Owl CM160 is a supported device in rtl_433. As said before for
Domoticz support you have turn to the Domoticz project.

But if you look at the cvs line you can see that the signal is received
properly:

12:02:27,,,CM160,,11,,,,,,,,,OS,,,,,,,,2995

There is nothing more to do on the rtl_433 side to handle it.
